A quick note, for now...

Escort says it's undetectable.

Completely undetectable.

How well does the Redline perform w/ a regular BelEscort window mount? Does it bounce a lot? Curious.

But if they emit something that can interfere with another RD, that means they emit something a future RDD can pick up.

AFAIK when Belscort designed the STi they made it completely stealth, as in no detectable emissions whatsoever, at microwave frequencies anyway. Some have said it emits in lower frequencies but these shouldn't be able to positively identify a RD, nor should they interfere with other RDs.

If another RD can pick up something from the M3 platform that affects its performance, so can a RDD. Granted, it may only be very close range emissions, and placing the STi and Redline further apart would be a solution.

P.S. I should be getting my Redline on Monday. I'll test it against my VG-2 as well as my other RDs (V1 w/Ka false guard off, and my Unidung which makes a better RDD than a RD

) If going horn-to-horn doesn't cause any of my other RDs to go off, it's a pretty good sign that it's stealth enough to peacefully coexist alongside another M3 platform stealth RD.

Someone who owns radar guns and two or more M3-platform RDs should do a controlled test (GOL)...

If that is a Veil Guy video, this would be the 2nd one running the STI and the Redline that I have seen the STI do that. Once on k-band and once on ka band. It could be a bad STI but..

In the other time I saw this it was a Ci unit acting just like the STI when run with a Whistler se unit. We know the Ci and the Whistler were both good units. It was obvious the Whistler was interfering with the CI with the same symptoms in that encounter. The CI was silent until almost point blank range with the gun then alerting in instant on fashion.

That STI/Redline encounter is very similar making me think it is interference. I guess the only way to know for sure would be test the STI by itself to see if it is defective, or see how other STI's work with the Redline. Hopefully the STI is defective and they can be safely run together.

They also said it was a V1 killer. Well, at least the Escort Rep on here did.

^^yea, it's not.

The paint sucks and so does that friggin lip!

My initial impression is that the Redline is a hacked copy of the STi with a "methed up" ramp up to give the illusion of better sensitivity.

I cracked up reading that stuff ...

Gold!

It would surprise me not one bit if the Redline turnes out to be just a reboxed STI. Can you even see the display if the Redline is mounted high, or does the lip totally obscure it?

Again with the Redline losing the signal for a bit ... that's not good.

More likely they will call it the Redline X50 and say it's an all new detector.

Proud,
The Redline is very steady on the mount. Very little bounce.

Now for the Redline...... It may have paid for itself today. My wifes subie had the low tire pressure light on and I took a "quick" run into town to get air. I was on Rt. 26 which is a 55 mph zone and I was cough cough 20 over.

Suddenly the Redline spews out 3 Ka tones at 35.505. I hammered the brakes and 3/4 mile later I spot the Vestal cruiser sitting off the side of the road facing me. He lit me up again at 500'. Anyway, I was very impressed with the I/O 35.5 alert range. The ergonomics are still more than I can deal with. Oh yea, you can see the display up high over the swollen lip. I'm still keepin my STi BUT it seems the Redline is a solid performer overall. I have no idea about Q/T performance though.
